Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, üniversite öğrencilerinin yabancı dile yönelik kalıplaşmış düşünceleri ile yabancı dil öz yeterlik algıları arasındaki ilişkiyi çeşitli değişkenler açısından incelemektir. Çalışma nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden ilişkisel araştırma yöntemiyle yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın örneklemini, 2018-2019 eğitim öğretim yılında Batı Karadeniz’de devlet üniversitesinin Eğitim Fakültesi’nde öğrenim gören lisans öğrencileri oluşturmaktadır. Basit rastgele örnekleme yöntemiyle çalışmaya toplam 352 katılımcı dahil edilmiştir. Veri toplama araçları olarak iki adet beşli likert tipinde “Yabancı Dile Yönelik Kalıplaşmış̧ Düşünce Ölçeği” ve “İngilizce ile İlgili Öz Yeterlik Ölçeği” uygulanmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda katılımcıların yabancı dile yönelik kalıplaşmış düşünceleri ve İngilizce ile ilgili öz yeterlik düzeyleri orta seviyede olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca katılımcıların kalıplaşmış düşünceleri ve öz yeterlikleri arasında düşük düzeyde de olsa anlamlı ve pozitif yönlü bir ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Araştırmacılar, İngilizce ile ilgili öz yeterliğinin yabancı dile yönelik kalıplaşmış düşüncelerdeki varyansı anlamlı bir şekilde açıkladığını ortaya koymuştur. Ek olarak yabancı dile yönelik kalıplaşmış düşünceler, katılımcıların İngilizce ile ilgili öz yeterliğindeki varyansı önemli ölçüde açıklamaktadır.
The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between undergraduate students’ stereotyped thoughts about foreign language and their perception of foreign language self-efficacy in terms of some variables. The study was conducted as correlational research method, one of the quantitative research methods. The sample of the study consists of undergraduate students studying at the Faculty of Education at a state university in Western Black Sea Region in Turkey during the academic year of 2018-2019. A total number of 352 participants were included into the study via simple random sampling method. As data collection tools, two five-point Likert-type " Stereotyped Thoughts about Foreign Languages Scale" and "English Self-Efficacy Scale" were used. As a result of the study, it was found out that participants' stereotyped thoughts about foreign language and their self-efficacy levels about English were at a medium level. In addition, it was found that there is a significant and positive relationship between stereotyped thoughts and self-efficacy of the participants, albeit at a low level. Researchers revealed that self-efficacy in L2 English significantly explained the variance in stereotyped thoughts about foreign language. Moreover, stereotypes about the foreign language significantly explain the variance in participants' English self-efficacy.
